Basil Flowers that can repel Mosquitoes

in #nature7 years ago

One plant that grows wild in the forests and swamps, often said with plants that are not useful. But, did you know that there are many plants that can be taken advantage, one of which is the basil plant.

As I know now, the leaves of the basil plant can be used as a complementary menu staple foods, such as rice/bread. I now see in restaurants, this leaves often become trimmer white rice, and eat it by raw.

According to the information I get, the interest could be an alternative drug to repel mosquitoes. Just need these flowers rubbed in the arms or other body parts, the mosquitoes will not be approached.
